Scott Richards Contemporary Art : Tiergarten - Chris Dorosz.
Review by Kathryn Arnold: Way too cool! Installations strung from ceiling to floor and ledges of figures created with paint applied to thin slender clear plastic rods. Those are some of my favorites-- the fantastic illusion of space and disintegration of form is altogether a feast.
Comment by AB: Some pretty remarkable art, ingenuity, finesse and technical expertise here. The work's so confoundingly intricate and precise I'm gonna slap the rare and highly coveted "How Do Dey Do Dat?" award on em. Worth a visit.

John Berggruen Gallery : Isca Greenfield-Sanders - Somewhere Else, Somewhere Good.
Review by Kathryn Arnold: Isca Greenfield-Sanders' works are beautiful. Bands of horizontal compositional divisions break up the space dotted with often brightly lit pastel hues and to note, the subtle grids. The works are built up using multiple medias with innovative processes.
Comment by AB: Soft, sensual, summery and idyllic. Exactly where we all want to be. Worth seeing.

Dolby Chadwick Gallery : Tom Lieber - Zero Gravity.
Review by Kathryn Arnold: Twisting churning marks and lines coalesce into forms and open shapes in mainly urban colors. Layered spaces engage the senses and titles intrigue with poetic nuance even when metaphoric nouns.

Sandra Lee Gallery : Real and Surreal. Juried by DeWitt Cheng.
Artists: Quite a few.
Review by Kathryn Arnold: A follow-up to last month's group exhibition, this one also includes multiple artists and their interpretations of the theme. A great place to visit to view many works in one place in assorted styles and media.
Comment by AB: The second installment of this group show yields yet another kookie caboodle.

Hespe Gallery : Eric Zener.
Comment by AB: No one can dispute the fact that Eric Zener has mastered the art of painting figures underwater.
